Abstract: Although existing literature on high-dimensional regression models is rich, the vast majority of studies have focused on independent and homogeneous error terms. In this article, we consider the problem of selecting high-dimensional regression models with heteroscedastic and time series errors, which have broad applications in economics, quantitative finance, environmental science, and many other fields. The error term in our model is the product of two components: one time series component, allowing for a short-memory, long-memory, or conditional heteroscedasticity effect, and a high-dimensional dispersion function accounting for exogenous heteroscedasticity. By making use of the orthogonal greedy algorithm and the high-dimensional information criterion, we propose a new model selection procedure that consistently chooses the relevant variables in both the regression and the dispersion functions. The finite sample performance of the proposed procedure is also illustrated via simulations and real data analysis.
